durlns the wln- because it interfered with anew iremoval council will keep the atter in mind and discuss it fur- next fall favoured puttlns the question new 9100000 public school to trote of the property owners the teat data that a vote will be la september chairman edwin wilson who presented ihe tehool boarda at the laat council nee- and atareased the importance of planning for a new school this year lor tue by 1052 requested council come to a decision on the matter lit the board could make definite plans cleave this is our first meet ing since personally i cant an swer it might be wrong to put it before the people at present i think it should have lots of public ity first wilson the publicity should come after councils decision ii there is to be a vote we want to know so a publicity campaign can be undertak cleave its not definite that council favours a vote that was my opinion others might be dif ferent- wilson if the question is vo ted down theres nothing we can do about it but that doesnt solve the problem it only postpones it it costs 3000 a year to operate a classroom and if it has to be done in a temporary building it will cost more and we get no value for the money spent cleave i think council should discuss the matter among ourselves im glad our town is growing so that we need a newschool peteh i dont know where the money will come from but a new school seems the only answer macdonald we u have to let the people decide cleave i wouldnt like to see it voted down i think its a nec essity id like to see it v ell ad vertised little articles in several papers and keep it before the pub lic lyons its foolish to rush into such an expenditure without the people bavins a say marshall suppose we put a resolution before council that this be put to the people cleave you wont need a school till 1992 people cant be rushed into things it doesn t take two years to build a school glen wil liams put one up sooner if you ask the people now to vote on a schooj for 1952 i thinkthere will be a lot of explaining to do hole that s my thought if we need a classroom or two we can find them for a short time thats what they did in acton hill its a money bylaw host people with children wont have a vote macdonald if people turn it down it isnt our fault cleave i don t want to stall too long but i dont favour rushing into it petch if you called a snap vote im afraid it wouldnt carry cleave council favours hav ing a vote i suggest mr wilson take it back to his board and we all give it more thought theres a lot the board can do towards making plans wilson there has to be a def inite site first mcgllvray i think a special vote now wouldnt carry wilson could we leave it this way that council favours a vote and will put it to the people in september unless circumstances iter a straw vote favoured voting on the school no earlier than sep tember though no definite decision lor a voting date was made sold a 98x188 lot to the east of gordon barleys
